Alterhuman Resources!
Alterhuman resources and links of all kinds. Current sections in order are informational resources, social groups (forums, subreddits, etc), positive + fun links, creative/art resources + artistic archives and personal blogs/websites.
[✨] next to a link means it was made by us.
[❗] next to a link means that there may be something we would like to specify about the link. It will be included in the square brackets after the description.
DISCLAIMER: We may not personally agree with all of the individual views of those who wrote each of these links, especially when it comes to topics unrelated to alterhumanity. We don't scour through people's personal lives to find out their stances on every topic. To the best of our ability we have excluded genuinely harmful resources from this list--things that go beyond your average friend group drama. If we have missed something major, you are free to let us know if you are concerned.
